Detachable bottle-cap.



In the modified form of construction shown in Fig. 6 the spiral 21 is the same'as the spiral 14 except that vthe ends of the wire 9.are twisted or otherwise secured to gether as at 13. p I* It will be readily understood that by making the wire 9. of a greater or less strength. and by' properly selecting a 4material for making thecap 3 Which has a proper stiff-V ness, any desired tight it may be produced on the mouth of the vessel l or any ease of removal of the vcap may be had.

It is obvious that those skilled in the art may-vary thedetails of construction as Well as the arrangement of parts Without departingiroin the spiritof my invention and therefore I do not wish to be limited to the I fitness meer?? as described.'
